About Krista

Dr. Krista Barbera focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, depression, ADHD, coping with life transitions, grief, addiction-related concerns, trauma and abuse, and related issues.

Background and approach

She emphasizes practical skills and evidence-based strategies to support clients who are looking for clearer thinking, better emotional regulation, and improved daily functioning. Dr.

Barbera brings a calm, empathetic presence and aims to meet clients where they are while offering tools to reduce symptoms and build resilience. With eight years of clinical experience, she holds a doctoral-level training in psychology and practices as a New Jersey psychologist (NJ Psychologist 35SI00647900).

Her background includes work in academic, correctional, community, business, and independent practice settings, and she has worked with adolescents and adults across outpatient and inpatient contexts. Dr.

Barbera integrates a cognitive behavioral orientation with other techniques as needed, grounding her work in both professional training and personal values to provide thoughtful, individualized care. Outside of her clinical roles she is also a wife, mother, former secondary English teacher, and church worship leader, experiences she says inform her perspective and empathy.

Prospective clients who value a collaborative, skill-focused approach may find her style well suited to addressing everyday stressors as well as more complex emotional and behavioral concerns.

CBT-informed care and flexible online sessions

Dr. Barbera uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts, test assumptions, and develop new coping skills; this approach can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and ADHD-related difficulties that respond to structured strategies. She also blends other techniques as needed to tailor interventions, combining behavioral experiments, skill-building, and problem-solving to address emotional and practical challenges.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She works with each person to clarify goals, try evidence-based options, and adjust methods when something is not working, so treatment evolves to fit individual needs and preferences.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats let clients fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care when travel or life changes occur, and use communication styles that feel most comfortable for them. Licensed professionals can apply structured CBT techniques effectively through these remote methods while collaborating with clients to find the best therapeutic fit.
